For the past 3 weeks my weight has been at a distressing level and just subbornly refused to move. Yet I feel good about myself. Why?

Well, I've realised over the years that my body has no upper limit on weight gain. Whenever I stop trying, I just get bigger & bigger. Even though my struggle seems never ending, I look around me and see friends who I envied 5 years ago who are now much bigger than I am.

Even though I have not succeeded in losing as I would wish, I did succeed in maintaining within a reasonable range and that's a very good thing.

No matter how much you wish to lose, the next time you start to beat yourself up, take out a pencil and paper and calculate all the weight you would have GAINED if you had stopped trying.

Then measure your success.

How true. That is a very good way to see thing on LCing. Good for you.....Are your stats up to date?

Very true.

Excellent point Max! I've been reminding myself of that very thing the past couple of weeks.

Max! What a wonderful and refreshing way to look at the issue!

Thank you for helping others to see it your way.

That is great way to look at things and a refreshing way to change the attitude about stalls.
